Choosing a summer stroller for a child

Summer stroller for the baby - an indispensable transport. Warm days are a great excuse to be outdoors more often, to breathe air and improve your health. When we choose a pram for a child, we primarily focus on the fact that he was comfortable in it and, of course, that it was beautiful and durable.

In the summer, the carriage is needed almost every day. In addition to the daily walks, which are very important to the baby, there are also trips to the clinic, to visit, trips to the country and walks out of town. And in all these trips, the child feels good if the vehicle for him is chosen correctly.

Enterprises producing products for children offer a huge variety of colors, models, kits at different prices. Sometimes a variety of wheelchairs in stores can cause some confusion, since it is not always possible to dwell on one thing.

You need to focus on those characteristics that are very important. Baby vehicles should be:

• light
• durable;
• safe;
• convenient to manage;
• with a reliable folding mechanism;
• comfortable for the child;
• attractive in appearance.

It doesn't matter what design, size or color the stroller is, it must contain details that are indispensable, or those that increase the comfort of the baby during walks.

• Each design should include a bumper that supports the child and does not allow him to fall out of the stroller, even if the child is behaving too actively and seeks to get out of his transport.
• Be sure to have seat belts, thanks to which, even with sudden movements and unforeseen obstacles on the road, the baby will be securely fastened.
• The step, which is adjustable, allows the child to sit comfortably during wakefulness and sleep.

• Hand or foot brake, which is especially convenient when you need to make any manipulations - drink, change a child, find a toy, or, if necessary, leave empty transport for a while and take a walk on foot.
• It is very convenient if the fabric cover is easily removed and it can be washed, quickly dried and fixed back. No matter how carefully you use the stroller, it gets dirty quite often.
• A good additional detail will be a raincoat, which in bad weather will protect the child from wind and rain.
• In the summer it is impossible to do without a mosquito net, which will allow the toddler to rest calmly and without the risk of being bitten by annoying mosquitoes or midge.

All designs of children's summer carriages are divided into two main types - "cane" and "book."

It is compact and lightweight. These are its main advantages, which in some cases play a very large role. The design consists of a metal frame and a fabric stretched over it, from which the seat and the sun visor are made. The folding mechanism is very simple, and when folded, the pram resembles a cane. Easy to carry by the handles.

The advantages of this type of children's transport include:

• small weight - from two to six kilograms;
• ease of folding, just one click on the button;
• small dimensions, designs easy to find a place in the apartment, it quietly fits in the trunk of the car.

The disadvantages include the fact that there is no lying position in the wheelchair and no depreciation.

Wheelchairs can be four-wheeled and three-wheeled. Some mothers prefer four-wheel classics, considering them more comfortable. Others have switched to a more modern tricycle type and see their advantages in it.

The tricycle looks a bit unusual, but many people note its maneuverability. With it you can easily drive around the pit, quickly turn in any direction. This species is considered clothed. With obvious advantages, there is a minus. For example, as many mothers note, it is difficult to overcome obstacles (curb, step) with this type of wheels, it is necessary to adjust to it.

But on the four-wheel counterparts, you can easily overcome any elevation. Such designs are very stable. But their weight is greater, and maneuverability is not at the highest level.

This is a convenient option for all occasions. It is easy to make a cradle out of the transformer when the child is in a recumbent position and will feel comfortable sleeping. When awake, the stroller can easily be turned into a walking version.

Transformers are large-sized strollers, weight varies from 15 to 20 kg. These are soft cushioned, adjustable pram. There are designs with rubber inflatable wheels, thanks to which a smooth ride is ensured. Convenient wheels allow you to overcome any obstacles. The handle can be installed from the front or from the rear, it can be adjusted in height. In the management of the stroller is convenient.

The advantages of the stroller include the fact that the child is always comfortable in it. Thanks to the adjustable backrest, he can sleep comfortably seated, just rest when the backrest is in a half-bent state, and stay awake when the backrest is in a fully upright position.

This is another version of children's transport, which is extremely necessary for some. Here, the difficulties in choosing more. The weight of the stroller increases in any case, but you need to choose the one in which the kids will be comfortable. Available in several types:

• universal;
• cradles;

• transformers;
• walking;

• canes;

• four and three wheels.

Double strollers are designed for both twins, and for little dogs. Children can be located next to each other or one behind the other.

All types of wheelchairs may differ in the presence and size of additional accessories. Additionally, cups for clothes, bags for clothes, mosquito nets, raincoats can be added. The stroller can be with a miniature visor or a large hood.

For the parents, the design of the stroller is not the last, everyone wants the child to get used to beautiful things since childhood. For girls, mothers choose gentle tones - pink, mint, turquoise, yellow, and blue. Boys choose tones darker - for example, blue, gray, green, burgundy.

The choice of stroller, above all, depends on the child's age. The child grows, develops, the needs increase, and the presence of increased comfort fades into the background, so parents have to change the stroller as the child grows up.

If the baby was born in the summer, then the best option in the first months of life would be the stroller. Models for babies are designed so that the child is comfortable in a horizontal position. The design plus additional accessories provide protection for all occasions - from the sun, wind, rain, insects. Most of the time, the baby sleeps, and sleep in the open air is very good.

Doctors do not recommend up to six months to move the child in the stroller, even if it is a transformer, and it provides a horizontal position. In some cases, even at the age of 6 months, it is not necessary to rush to transplant the child into the streetcar.

But basically, in six months, you can safely move into a stroller-book, which provides for three provisions. It will be convenient to play and relax. If the stroller is equipped with additional accessories, in case of bad weather, the child can be completely closed from the rain and wind and reach home comfortably.

One year old child will also be comfortable in this type of stroller. But if mother chooses to buy a cane stroller by the year, this will also be a good option.

This is a time of active walks. The child is already quite mobile, but still tied to a regime in which daytime sleep is obligatory. With him you can go on long walks, but the convenience of the child is very important. The stroller should not be cramped. Most likely, he will not only travel there, discovering a new world for himself, but also sleep in the fresh air. Mom should be comfortable too. Therefore, additional stands for things, hooks for bags will be very useful.

In summer, the stroller must be equipped with a mosquito net. Constructions in the form of a book and in the form of a cane will be convenient. It all depends on various factors: in what area the family lives, in a high-rise or private house that the kid likes more - to sleep or stay awake during the walk.

The child is getting older, and increasingly he wants to travel, moving independently. The stroller fades into the background, but it is still needed. Long walks require rest, and the child will gladly spend part of the journey on his transport.

There are a lot of manufacturers of wheelchairs, everyone is trying to improve children's transport as much as possible, to make it multifunctional, but at the same time as convenient and attractive as possible. Lightweight models have different designs and colors, which makes it easy for parents to choose models for girls and boys.

Below is a ranking of the most popular brands of baby strollers.

The choice of parents is influenced by many factors. Among them, of course, the most important are the safety and comfort of the baby. But there are other nuances that need to be considered.

If the house is multi-storey and the elevator is missing or often does not work, then a folding stroller with a small weight is best suited. Getting up with a baby and a heavy stroller even on the fifth floor is very difficult. Such walks will not be a joy, but they are extremely necessary for the child.

When choosing a stroller for twins you need to consider not only their convenience, but also to check whether the transport will enter the elevator. In some houses of the old layout the elevators are very narrow, and the cargo ones are missing.

If the roads near the house are uneven or there are often walks in nature, where asphalt tracks are not provided, it would be more correct to choose a wheelchair with shock absorption.

If the family plans to go on vacation, you need to consider that the stroller should be as compact and light as possible. This transport will be enough for a kid at walks, at railway stations and airports. But to accommodate a stroller on the road can not be everywhere, and things, in addition to the stroller, is enough. Therefore, the light version of the stroller cane will simply be an indispensable tool in traveling.

Cheap strollers are not bad. They just have fewer additional functions and details. But if you need to save, you can restrict a more budget option. In any case, each stroller is equipped with the necessary elements that are responsible for the safety and convenience of the child.

For older children who are three years old, fit seated structures, in which the kids are not so often, only if there is a long way to go.

When buying, the mother takes into account the gender of the child and tries to get a delicate color for the girl, and for the boy something more serious, so that you can immediately see who is traveling: a little princess or a future man.

In any case, when choosing a child's vehicle, you should carefully read the technical specifications and try it in: whether the handle is comfortable, the wheels are good, how the brakes work, whether the child is comfortable in the wheelchair. Some first acquire the cradle, and then the walking block. Others immediately prefer to buy a “three in one” model and use it not only in infancy, but also when the baby grows up.

Each mother when buying focuses on the family budget and selects the most suitable option based on all components.
